I recently signed up for TurningArt<\/b><\/a>, a ‘Netflix for fine art,’ if you will. (Basic premise: subscribe to get new artwork of your choosing via a queue every 3 months in a provided frame, and each artwork ‘rental’ earns you credits to purchase any of the pieces at a discount.) Great concept, and I was happy to get my first piece<\/a> just the other day.<\/p>\n

But what was the name of that piece? I can’t remember it.* I’m telling everyone who’s seen the art since we installed it about the service itself, but I’d also like to tell them about the piece I’m showcasing. As such, I have a simple proposal for the TurningArt<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Example of sub-image label<\/p><\/div>\n

With every piece that is sent to your home, include a tiny paper label to affix beneath the work (\u00c3\u00a0 la a museum’s under-art label) with both a description of the piece and a QR code linking to the piece online. I would assume such a label would contain the following info:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Title of the artwork<\/li>\n
  2. Artist name<\/li>\n
  3. Medium<\/li>\n
  4. Price tag for outright purchase<\/li>\n
  5. QR code<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ideally, the QR code would be embedded with the displaying user’s referral ID<\/a> to not only track who’s driving subscriptions\/sales, but also credit them per their existing referral system.<\/p>\n

    In turn, this solution a) helps TurningArt drive new sales\/subscribers, b) helps artists drive fans (and possible sales), c) helps users look a little smarter and become ready-made evangelists for the TurningArt service, and d) gives the uninitiated a simple way to get engaged.<\/p>\n

    * Obviously, I’ve since looked up the name of the piece since writing this: Yellow Block<\/a>, by Jodi Chamberlain<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
